Appreciation album review : While She Sleeps - Self Hell (2 Viewers)

[Willow]

I am going to review While She Sleeps newest album.
It is their first release since their last album which was out three years ago.

about the band:
Hailing from Sheffield, While She Sleeps is a British band consisting of five members. The band's lineup includes vocalist Lawrence "Loz" Taylor, guitarists Sean Long and Mat Welsh, bassist Aaran McKenzie, and drummer Adam Savage. All members are founding members except Taylor, but he has been featured in all the band's releases. Taylor said in an interview that the name was chosen after they had read a true story in a newspaper. It is also a reference to a ship sunken at the bottom of the sea, as they are usually referred to with a feminine pronoun.

about the album:

genre: metalcore
country: England, UK
release date: 29th March 2024

Prior to the album release, the band revealed a few singles (Self Hell, Down (feat. Malevolence), To the Flowers, Leave me Alone). Self Hell is the first single, which was revealed back in September. The album was produced DIY by the band, it is the second album after Sleeps Society to be conceived that way. The album mixes a few genres and is overly cohesive ; however, some songs are more impactful than others.

tracklist:

Peace of Mind
Leave Me Alone
Rainbows
Self Hell
Wildfire
No Feeling Is Final (feat. Aether)
Dopesick (feat. Fin Power de Stones)
Down (feat. Alex Taylor de Malevolence)
To The Flowers
Out of the Blue
Enemy Mentality
Radical Hatred/Radical Love​

about the songs:
We'll be getting through the whole album, starting with the opening song ; Peace of Mind.

Dopesick (feat. Stone) is a nu-metal song, it felt like a song Linkin Park could have released! I really like the combination of both voices here. Pretty good featuring!

The last song of the album ; Radical Hatred / Radical Love is also the slowest song on the record. I really like the overall atmosphere of the whole song! It closes the album quite well. I really liked the spoken parts as well!​

"Taylor said in an interview that the name was chosen after they have read a true story in a newspaper"-use had not have because of tenses. The rest is in past tense.
"It is also a reference to a ship sunken at the bottom of the sea, as they are usually refered with a feminine pronoun."-refered is a typo, should be referred. Also when using referred like that you add to after, to make it referred to.
"Self Hell is the first single which was revealed back in September." a comma can be used after single for clarity.
"The album mixes a few genres and is overly cohesive, however some songs are more impactful than others."-A couple things, a semicolon belongs in front of however, and a comma after.

You did well imo, honestly I had to check with chatGPT about grammar rules. Its clear and only a couple errors
